    beachcomber australia Not far off! Little disturbed by the stick figure child on fire at the back though :P

    This was probably 1932 when Winterhude arrived in Sydney 83 days out of Callao, Peru. She had lost her fore royal mast in 1923 reducing the sails on her foremast to 5. In 1934 she lost her main royal mast in a collision with a bridge. Neither was replaced. Robert Carter

    Explore! Mr Hall would have been pleased! Found it! From that "A. S. N. Hotel" (see note), which is mentioned in Trove as John and Mill Streets, Pyrmont (selling tobacco without a licence). The LYDERHORN is anchored in Pyrmont Bay, with Pyrmont in the background. We are looking almost west from about the "R" in Darling on this 1895 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=... A stone's throw from the ANMM, but almost unrecognizable to what is there now - the area has probably been rebuilt two or three times.
